Shlomo Argov, Israel’s Ambassador to Britain, will soon be flown back to Israel to continue his recovery from the assassination attempt on him eight weeks ago.
Last week, the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases said Argov had only a one in ten chance of surviving the brain damage suffered when an Arab terrorist shot him June 3.
For the first six weeks in the hospital, the 53-year-old envoy was unconscious and linked to a breathing machine. He is now speaking, eating and drinking and breathing normally and occasionally sits up in bed, an Israeli official said today.
